The geodesic dome (former US pavilion from Expo 67) bridges the gap between Buckminster Fuller’s ecological ideas and today’s environmental challenges. The primary exhibition traces the history of the Biosphere while also offering an introduction to current exhibitions and the connections between art, society, and the environment. The Biosphère also offers a stunning 360-degree view of the city.

All museum visits begin at the Emmaus after the morning service, when the day's group forms and heads out together.
